Hold On

Don’t let your ‘do deflate or frizz up in humid weather. Keep it tight with Motions Light Hold Working Spritz ($3.75, drugstore.com)—it’s quick-drying, super lightweight, and doesn’t flake. The business!

Hot Hair: Drugstore Steals
03
Straight Up

Amika Professional Straightening Comb ($12, folica.com) allows you to control even sections of hair, and gives just the right amount of tension to score a super-sleek blowout. A must-have!

The Shining

Optimum Oil Therapy Shine Booster ($2.50, walgreens.com) nourishes and repairs dull, dry hair, leaving it looking two hundred percent healthier. The gloss is unbelievable!

Strand Strengthener

Gentle and moisturizing, Pantene Relaxed & Natural Daily Oil Cream ($3.99) keeps Black hair—no matter the texture—conditioned and glossy with a blend of jojoba and coconut oils. Use it every day as a hydrating styling cream.

Brush it Off

Monroe Pink Brush, Special Edition ($15.99, folica.com) is an essential for a bouncy, sexy blowout. The bristles reach the hair roots, gently pulling them up and forward to be exposed to the blowdryer. And we all know if your roots aren’t straight, your blowout is not hot!

Sleek and Chic

Apply a dab of Smooth ‘N Shine’s award-winning Polishing Heat Protect Straighten Polish ($4.50, walmart.com) to sections of hair before flatironing or blowdrying to protect from heat-damage and add shine.
